Openbox theme editor? or how do i?

Just curious if there is a working Openbox GUI theme editor.  I see there is something called obTheme found here which is part of l3ib: http://code.l3ib.org/?p=obtheme.git;a=summary

But how do I install that or use it? 

Or, are there any good tutorials on Openbox theme'ing?   
It was so easy when I had blackbox and used bbconf.

I don't know of a GUI for it, but it's pretty simple.  Here's a tutorial: http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Themes

Thanks, I hope they make a gui for it though.  With the bb editor,  it had a color picker and you just dropped in the colors from any screen... was nice.

Well, your choices are black and white...that should not be very hard!

Looks interesting. I'll see if I can package it up sometime tomorrow.

obtheme does not currently work properly, but i think that it is still being worked on. I think it still needs a theme called xxx if you want to test it or play with it but i don't think the git version saves.

The themes are very well documented though so they are not so hard to work through in a text editor.
